Please, can you take a moment to elaborate on something you said...You said, "you tried almost all diet pills". Can you talk about what you tried and what happened? You may think it doesn't matter, now...but, the purpose of this forum is to share not just your problems but your experiences, too. I know that the pills didn't work. You know that the pills didn't work. But, what about the people who don't know?

Your experience and the mistakes you've made in the past are valuable. Can you understand why?

You obviously don't have a healthy view on food and your weight. I am going to challenge you to change your views! DON'T focus on your weight! Focus on your HEALTH. Don't think of food in terms of "cheating." It only sets you up to feel guilty, which can derail you and make you binge and forget about your health.

Re-examine how you view food...think of it as FUEL for your body. What is great fuel that will give you tons of energy and a ton of good health? Fruits, vegetables, true whole grains that you cook from scratch--NOT processed "whole grains" that come in packages or boxes (I'm talking about snacks, breads, and sugary breakfast cereals). Choose lean sources of protein, and don't forget that beans, lentils, and nuts can be great sources of protein.

Eating only cabbage soup is dangerous. Diet pills are dangerous. Don't do that again, please! Learn to ENJOY food. Cut back or eliminate sugar so that real, whole foods taste amazing!

Check out health books and healthy cookbooks at your local library. A good book that I can think off the top of my head is Eat to Live by Joel Furhman, MD.

Getinspiredtogethealthy, and the weight will slowly but surely come off!
